FTFA: CNSNews.com also contacted all the members of the New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont congressional delegations and asked them whether they thought it was appropriate for a federally funded organization to produce a video promoting bondage and sadomasochism to teens.

Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) was the only member of Congress to reply.

"...asked them whether they thought it was appropriate for a federally funded organization to produce a video promoting bondage and sadomasochism to teens."

They say this exact same line like, 5 times in that article.

"According to some random websites, October has been officially declared national kink month," says Green on the video. "And when you think about it--October and kink--they are kind of a fitting pair. Halloween and kink are both about adventure and fun and exploring rolls and dynamics that are maybe a little bit different from everyday life. So many of the common kinks out there fall under the umbrella of BDSM. "

That's funny.But they asked seven Democrats, two Repubicans, and 2 Independents.Only one of eleven politicians bothered to reply. I wonder why?

FTFA: CNSNews.com called PPNNE president and CEO Meagan Gallagher and Dr. Donna Burkett, the group's medical director, numerous times over the course of three days to ask why the group thought it was appropriate for a tax-funded organization to promote bondage and sadomasochism to teenagers. A staff member later confirmed that Gallagher received the messages.

If you're too stupid to understand that education people about a thing is not the same as promoting a thing, you should never publish anything again, ever.When my history teacher educated me about the Holocaust, he wasn't promoting the idea of committing genocide, and when Nancy Reagan (Just Say No!) educated our nation's young people about the dangers of drugs, she wasn't promoting drug abuse.

I'm more amused by a drunken tale told one night about the guy telling it waking up next to a woman he couldn't remember the name of. But apparently they'd gotten a little kinky. She was handcuffed to the bed. He noticed she was awake and screamed "What's my name biatch!" and she got a scared look on her face because she couldn't remember his.

Because CSN is about as relevant as the local Shopper's Guide with the Piggly Wiggly sale paper inside?

If politicians took every interview request, they wouldn't have time to do their jobs. What do you want the politicians to say, in what will definitely be a hostile interview? While I'd love to see John Boehner get ripped apart by Stewart or Colbert, I'm not surprised that he turns down their interviews.

The whole building or just one office? Aren't all these organizations just Brent Bozell and one or two more people?

Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) was the only member of Congress to reply. According to spokesman Jeff Grappone, "Senator Ayotte thinks this video, which is clearly targeted at a younger audience, is inappropriate and troubling. She believes taxpayers shouldn't be directly or indirectly funding activity like this."

This is a farking joke! These are my tax dollars at work and they only teach SSC?

What about RACK? What about No Boundary TPE? I'm sorry Planned Parenthood, but YKINMK so fark off!There are countless ways to experience and enjoy BDSM and after over 20 years I STILL haven't learned them all.This is some watered-down Hot Topic Twilight bullshiat version and we wonder why our kids grow up pansies. It's like showing me one painting of a squiggle on a blank canvas and saying ALL abstract art looks like this.

This is what happens to a beautiful thing when it turns mainstream and somebody writes farking novels about it.

Give me 3 hours in my playroom with that squeeky voiced tart and I'd teach her a thing or twelve.

GoodyearPimp:geek_mars: and when Nancy Reagan (Just Say No!) educated our nation's young people about the dangers of drugs, she wasn't promoting drug abuse.

Based on actual evidence, Reagan was a god-send for those in the business of selling drugs.

Well, yes, but that was despite her efforts. That wasn't the intention.

Slow down, dude, you're gonna fly off the rails.And more often than not, education equals promotion.

I'm not sure if I was typing faster than I was thinking, or if it was the other way around.In my experience, education can equal promotion, but as often as not, it doesn't. It usually has a lot to do with how education is presented.

jaybeezey:geek_mars:If you're too stupid to understand that education people about a thing is not the same as promoting a thing, you should never publish anything again, ever.

Unless it's educating kids about proper gun use/safety.

I'm not sure what you mean. In the case of gun use/safety, I'd say that rkiller1 is correct in that education equals promotion. That being said, I'm in favor of young people being educated on gun use/safety, but I'd still oppose CNSNews.com publishing anything on the subject (or any subject, really).
